The whole book was Chromolithographed by W. R. Tymms after designs by W. & G. Audsley. Two neat inscriptions on the front blank endpaper, dated 1881 and 1906. Some neat professional repairs to page edges but overall the pages are clean and bright and each page mounted onto tabs so that it opens fully without risking the spine cracking, a fault common with these gutter percha bindings of the mid Victorian period.

Original Leighton, Son and Hodge binders ticket stuck onto the new rear blank endpaper. In the publishers highly decorative boards with lettering and elaborate design to both boards, the rear in blind, the front using gilt, green and white. The spine lettered and decorated in gilt. Some rubbing to the edges of the binding and wear to the top and bottom of spine but overall an attractive copy of this beautiful edition. Housed in a twentieth century quarter morocco clam shell box with velvet lining. The spine lettered in gilt.…
